That seems to be the case, though technically it is just a blend. The term double malt is not really recognized as term is the whisky world.

Single malt = malt whisky from one distillery
Pure Malt/Vatted Malt/Blended Malt = malt whisky from more than one distillery
Blended = grain and malt whisky from more than one distillery
Single grain = grain whisky from one distillery

Ok, So I guess it is a blend..tech speaking.

Well, Blended/Vatted/Pure Malt would be correct for a double malt.

I've heard that term used for a few malts which can be misleading. A double malt should be better than a single malt right?

I've also seen blended malts from 2 distilleries that don't try to mislead the consumer with that moniker.
